  1. Many often go through a transcendent phase before they reach the imminent. Every honest teaching can be roughly summed up as: “there just simply aren’t any limits whatsoever.” This is everything and nothing. And no it can’t be understood. It’s just absolutely tragic. It can be understood in a way that matters, but ultimately, it can’t be.
  2. ^^ Yeah. It's tough in the USA. At least at one point in the past, 1P-LSD was a viable option but it's quite like LSD-25 so not all that versatile -- long duration; massive tolerance; etc. DPT I think may be technically, conditionally legal as well, but if you order on the clearnet it's insanely expensive, from what I remember. Do some research.
  3. Facts. I was informed it would be a 4 hour trip. False. It is definitely quite a bit longer than 4 hours. I would say it still lasts about 10 hours but with almost all the intensity concentrated in the first 5 hours. To OP... You need to dissolve it in warm water (in some kind of spoon/etc) for some time, and then plug it though. Don't just stick the tab up there. I've had several correspondences with people irl and online asking how it worked for me and not for them (including on this forum) -- they had stuck the tab up there with no water. Plugging is best for most psychedelics but I honestly feel like the oral bioavailability of LSD is at least on par with plugging -- note: this is unusual.
  4. Potentially more powerful than 5-MeO-DMT? Could be anything. My guess would be ketamine, salvia, ibogaine, or datura. Perhaps peyote/mescaline. Or some dissociative/psychedelic combo. Datura probably should not be used under any circumstances, in my humble opinion. It’s extremely unpleasant, and dangerous.
  5. @Bulgarianspirit I used to have some wicked HPPD and the only thing that helped was pregnenolone 100mg (Life Extension brand). It actually worked so well it was like cotton balls were taken out of my ears. And the visual snow completely went away. And the effects lasted for almost 3 days.
  6. The belief that distance doesn’t exist is untrue. The belief that distance exists is also untrue. Distance is just what it is — an empty perception that can be rendered meaningless once the apparent context for it is absent. Where exactly is the visual field? It’s exactly where it is. Where is that? Exactly where it is. The whole thing. So where is distance? You can’t find it. It appears to be where it is, but is it actually there? You don’t know.
  7. 200mg dissolved in tea chilled me out way too much even with the caffeine. I think it’s quite anti-serotonergic, so SSRI’s could have easily blocked its effects.
  8. No idea if it’s permanent, it’s not really a state though. There’s just what seems to be happening. I can get into some pretty awesome states if I choose to but I usually don’t these days. I did the other day though — inclined my mind to have an experience of nothingness, for instance, via the 7th jhana. Many different kinds. Started meditating 20 minutes at a time, then did The Mind Illuminated, then some of Kenneth Folk’s teachings, then read Rob Burbea’s Seeing That Frees (probably my favorite). I’m not enlightened. It’s all just experiences. There was an apparent collapse of the individual but I can’t say anything I did caused it to happen, and I can’t even tell you when it happened. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention self inquiry. That probably provoked the most change.
  9. Probably just bad mushrooms, though it could be a medication you're taking. Seroquel, SSRIs, and quite a few others can pretty much stop trips from happening.
  10. Yes. Contemplation, meditation, seeking, suffering, psychedelics, etc.
  11. Not an object that is perceived subjectively, which is the only object worth talking about. There's nothing objective. Not to mention all there is is consciousness (or whatever you want to call it; it certainly isn't an object by any means though).
  12. Hmm. I don't know. What arises dependent upon conditions does not actually arise though. They only appear to. But those quoted phrases don't mean anything to me. An object needs consciousness. Consciousness needs an object. They have no independent existence. Everything is leaning on a vacuum of nothing.
  13. Sure, you could say perception is all there is, but the perceiver is merely implied. The perceived is perception. No perceiver required.
  14. All I know is bitcoin is likely here to stay. There will probably be blockchain apps that completely replace Uber and Lyft.
  15. 3 days a week. Same routine every time (except for adding reps/weight each session). Definitely don't do a leg day, arm day, etc... Make sure it includes a push, a pull, and a legs/hinge/squat. i.e. 3 sets Chin ups (weighted), 3 sets Dips (weighted), 1 set Deadlift (all after considerable ramping up in weight, for warm up, so you'll be doing a lot more than just 7 total sets...) 5-15 reps per set, stopping short of failure so you don't tax your nervous system. But only 5 reps per warm up set, of which there should be at the very least 2 for each lift, and each should be heavier than the preceding warm up set. Can potentially sub dips for overhead press, and deadlift for squat. There isn't really a good alternative to chin ups though.
  16. The vast majority of traders lose money. Try conscious investing maybe. There's a podcast called InvestEd and an associated website (the guy's name is Phil Town) that goes pretty in depth on how you can do this effectively. Seems to be a pretty stand up guy -- used to be a river guide for decades or something and then got quite wealthy just investing and apparently he only started with like $5k. Now he teaches people how to do it, mostly for free.
  17. The only truly correct answer to every question. And no, I don't know that.
  18. Time functions as a source of meaning/sense/purpose for an individual to be able to appear to traverse reality in the form of a journey in which something can be attained or brought about in the future, to benefit itself or others with which the individual identifies with.
  19. Everything is only precisely as real as it seems to be.
  20. Looking at a screen Sitting in a chair It doesn't have to be anything, yet it's exactly what it is !!!
  21. Emptiness, too, is empty of itself, and is therefore full. Theme of things going full circle applies here.
